Our College

Pymble Ladies’ College is a leading independent girls' school, set on 20 hectares of beautiful park-like grounds on Sydney’s North Shore, close to Pymble station. The College is a safe, happy, caring community of Kindergarten to Year 12 day students and Year 7 to Year 12 boarding students.

Pymble offers extensive opportunities for girls and young women to explore and excel. They enjoy advanced learning technology, outstanding facilities and extensive choices in the performing arts, sporting and cultural arenas. A strong academic record and focus on each student as an individual creates a refreshing and stimulating environment which inspires a holistic educational experience.

The College motto of All’ Ultimo Lavoro – ‘strive for the highest’ inspires our students and staff to go beyond and to be the best that they can be.

Pymble Ladies’ College is a non-selective school.

Our Mission and Values

Our mission is to foster in each student a passion for learning and scholarship, a quiet but unshakeable self-confidence, and the values and skills to make a worthwhile contribution to her community.

Five core values affirm our commitment to the Christian heritage of Pymble Ladies’ College. These values of care, courage, integrity, respect and responsibility reflect our faith and provide a strong foundation for dynamic learning.

Our Programs

The College offers a showcase of exceptional curricular and co-curricular programs. An extensive curriculum is offered across all years, with 43 individual subject choices offered to students for the Higher School Certificate. The Pastoral Care Program at Pymble is from Kindergarten to Year 12 and comprehensive in its scope though individual in its delivery, and provides girls with the specific care and attention they require at the various stages of their schooling life.

Our Facilities

The College is divided into four separate schools on the one campus. There are purpose-built Preparatory and Junior Schools, a Middle School and an Upper School. From 2011, Pymble will have five Schools on one campus, with the completion of a new Senior School Centre for Years 11 and 12 students.

Students spend the majority of their time in their specific school precincts, however all students enjoy the outstanding shared facilities including a 750 seat Performing Arts Centre, Music School, Visual Arts Centre, state-of-the-art indoor gymnasium, three full-size, multi-purpose sporting fields, 25 outdoor tennis/basketball courts, ten netball courts, and Olympic standard 50 metre swimming pool with diving boards, tower and learner’s pool.

Boarding

Pymble offers a safe, caring and nurturing environment for its boarders – comfortable and relaxed yet stimulating surroundings where girls can grow and learn. Many of our country boarders refer to it as ‘country in the city’.

Three Boarding Houses are situated within the school grounds and accommodate up to 115 boarders. A structure designed to facilitate the unique needs of girls at different year levels has been implemented, with boarders in Years 7, 8 and 9 residing in Marden House. Years 10 and 11 boarders reside in Goodlet House and Year 12 boarders are in single rooms in Lang House, where they are provided the resources and support required by students in their final year of secondary schooling.

A new boarder and Family Orientation Weekend is conducted to assist new boarders and their families acclimatise to life at Pymble, and the City Family Boarding Program also assists new boarders settle in to life at the College.
